The Fate Of Ten By Pittacus Lore

The Fate of Ten, by Pittacus Lore, a book set in New York City and Mexico, is narrated by two main people, John, known as Number 4, and Katrina, known as Number 6. This book is the sixth in its series and I have read them all. I began to read this series a few years back, and went from book to book, even doing a previous book report on the first book, until I got to the penultimate novel in the series. This book is mainly about the spread of good throughout Earth, despite there being much bad, and the rise of a leader who stepped up to take charge of the resistance and of the invasion. The Fate of Ten, by Pittacus Lore, is about the survival of two races, humans and Garde, as their common enemy, the Mogadorians, attempt to take over Earth.

Sekrakus Ra then forced Garde number Five to kill Garde number Eight. The remaining five Garde are the only force protecting the Earth at this point. Since the Mogadorians learn where the remaining Garde live and can now attempt to kill them, Sekrakus Ra asked that earth surrender to him and threatens to destroy the planet. Ra demonstrates his power by destroying New York City and Beijing completely in about 6 hours. All of the world leaders gather as the Mogadorians patrol the streets of New York City, where the remaining five Garde are hiding. The Garde receive a message that there is a sanctuary of Lorien, the source that gives the Garde their special powers, that could be awakened and can help them kill Sekrakus Ra. The Garde decide to split up to have a greater chance of reaching the Lorien source in Mexico. Number Four, and his very good human friend, Sam, stay in New York to help protect the remaining people. Number Seven and Number Six travel to the Sanctuary with a rare Mogadorian friend, Adam. While Seven, Six, and Adam travel to the sanctuary, Nine and Five get into a very big fight over number Eight’s death and begin to try to kill each other with their powers. Six and Seven arrive at the sanctuary in Mexico where they promptly put items that they obtained from a Garde chest into the temple. The temple responded by sending out a pulse wave of blue

In the beginning, John exhibited similar powers to all of the other Garde. Throughout the story, John demonstrated extreme bravery and concern for others. When the Garde are addressing humans at the United Nations, they have John speak on their behalf. His shift in power really happens when he is fighting to protect New York and the blue energy makes many new Garde out of humans. A human feels pain as a new power in developing. As John reaches to heal the pain of one new Garde, Daniela, he suddenly develops the same power: “It doesn’t help Daniela, but something does happen when the energy flows between us. Suddenly, I can sense exactly what’s happening inside her. In can feel it too. A pressure behind the eyes. A heavy weight that feels like its trying to punch through my face.”(388). At this point, he and the other Garde learn that he can add many new powers to his arsenal through touch. John was already treated as a leader in some ways but, with his new ability to get many new powers, he will clearly lead the Garde in the next
